4 SENSIBLE WOMAN.
The Readiness With Which She Under

The Readiness With Which She Under
 stood B Financial Object Lesson.
 A man having large business inter ests and handsome income married a lady who, accustomed all her previous life to the luxuries of wealth, had never formed any clear conception of the value and purchasing power of money. For some months every whim, no matter how extravagant. was promptly gratified by the indulgent husband, who always gave his check for any amount of money asked. One day the bride of a few months to carry out some caprice, requested a check for so large a sum that the gen tleman was somewhat staggered there by. He saw that such prodigality, if presisted in, meant ruin; but not wish ing to grieve his wife by downright refusal, he determined to give her an object lesson in the financial line. Ac- cordingly, with a smile of seeming acquiescence, he remarked that the supply of checks was e1- hausted, but he would send up the money from the office. About noon the promised money came, not in crisp $500 bills, as was expected, but in sterling silver dollars, the sum total filling several specie bags. The wife was at first vexed and then amused, and finally, before the afternoon wore away, became deebly thoughtful. When her better half came home to supper she took him gently by the arm, and, leading him into the hall, where the ponderous bags of specie were still standing, said:
 My dear, is this money asked you for this morning?"
 "It is. my love-" was the reply.
 And did you have to take this all in, dollar by dollar, in the course of your business?" was the next question,
 "Yes, my dear; it represents the re- suits of many weeks of hard labor" he answered, gently.
 Well, then," she said, with fearful eyes, "send around a man to take it back to the bank in the morning. 1 can't use so much money for so trivial purpose. "-BufaJo Courier.

A Rich Woman's Whim.

A curious story comes from England through a private source, that the Baroness Burdette Coutts has some- thing that no other woman in the world possesses-three skins. All oth- CT women have two; but what is the use of great fortune if you can't af- ford yourself little unusual luxury now and then? The third skin is made of silk, and is so exquisitely fine and close-ftting that few people have de- tected its presence. It is said to cover her whole body, from her ankles to her chin, and they, for she has sets of them. are woven specially for her. They are flesh-colored, of course, and hide all wrinkles and ravages of time, with the natural discolorations of the skin that are the result of age. Where this artificial skin ends at the throat the Baroness wears a splendid collar of jewels or velvet band, and she never takes off her gloves while in evening dress, not even to eat her din- ner.-C Chicago Herald.

most blank by contrast; and at other seasons the stars of the cluster might be entirely concealed, and they would look off into the same starry universe that we behold. Or the orbit of the planet might be so situated that the clustered splendors we have described would be visible from only one of it's hemispheres, so that the inhabitants of the other hemisphere, hearing the fame of this great celestial display and, desiring to behold it. would have to journey half around their globe to gratify their curiosity. as we have to go into the Southern hemisphere to see the Southern Cross, the M agellanic clouds, and other celebrated sights of the astral sky.
 But, somebody may ask, can inhabit- ed worlds exist in such system as that described? We certainly have no reason to think it impossible that they should. It is difficult however, to un- derstand just how the cluster itself exists. The complicated attractions prevailing among its members put it beyond the power of the mathematical analysis to unravel their orbital mo- tions. But facts are stronger than theories, and our eyes assure us that tho cluster is there. Moreover, it is by no means the only phenomenon of the kind in the Heavens. There are many star clusters, some as compact as this one Hercules. As to the ques- ton of life in them, it can, perhaps, neither be proved nor disproved. But it is more agreeable to the mind, and more in accordance with the progress of science, which tends continually to establish the unity of the physical uni- verse, to believe that intelligent beings enjoy the splendors of these distant capitals of space, than to think of them as barren and tenantless-mere spectral lights amid the 'Saharas of creation.

 Who wrote the letters of Junius? It is generally conceded that Sir Philip Francis did, but there is no certainty about it. It has been well said, how ever, that the time spent in trying to find out who Junius was would be better expended in learning to write as well as Junius wrote.
 "God tempers the wind to the shorn lamb" was long believed to be from the Scriptures. But Sterne wrote it in his Sentimental Journey"
 This is the time when these questions come up like Banquo's ghost ("Mac- beth," Scene 3, Act III), and will not ''down" until traced to their proper lineage.
 A correspondent asks: "Who origin ated the phrase, Pouring oil on the troubled waters?'" That discussion came up here in Detroit some five years ago. A lady riding in Class avenue horse car asked another lady if she knew. Then gentleman offered to write to friend of his, fellow of Edinburgh College, and, taking the ad- dress of the lady, he gave his own. In the course of some months the letter came, and Dr. Samuel Leggert copied this part of it into his Webster's Dic- tionary of quotations, where it is re- corded in his fine, scholarly handwrit- ing:
 ''The venerable Bede says: "A priest called Utta was sent into Kent to fetch Lanplede, King Edwine's daughter, who was to be married to King Osin, A. D. 617 Before his departure Utta visited Bishop Sida and besought his prayers for prosperous journey. The bishop blessed him and gave him pot of oil, saying: Remember thatyou cast into the sea this pyle that I will give you and the wind being laid comfortable fayre weather shall ensue on the sea-"
 This has nothing to do with the fa- miliar phrase burning the midnight oil:

 The couplet was written by Gay and used Oy many or the EnSlsn DaruS-
 There is another popular quotation which has been run to the ground re- gently:
 When ignorance is bliss

THE MULTICYCLE,
A New Wheeled Machine for tho Trans-
 pOrtation of Infantry.

I
 People in many London thoroughfares
 must have been considerably astonished
 of late by the appearance of strange looking vehicle speeding swiftly along.
 propelled by ten riders, who sat all in a row, like the crew of an elongated uni versity rowing-boat. This novelty in means of locomotion was on its way to Aldershot, where, by authority of the War Office, it will be tested with a view to its adoption for military opera tions. It is the latest adaptation of four-in-hand quadricycle and it is in tended for the rapid transport of in fantry from one point to another. When fully manned it carries twelve men, who can take with them, if ordered, light baggage cart or am- intuition wagon. The advantages of mounting men thus in single file instead of two or four abreast are, first of all, that the machine is more manageable, and second, that power for it presents less surface to strong head wind, one of the obstacles most difficult for cyclists to overcome. The speed that can be got out of such machine by ten or twelve moderate riders is quite surpris- ing. Ten miles an hour would be con- sidered low average rate, and sixteen have been easily accomplished. It is said to be affected less than any other velocipede by any roughness in the thoroughfares, and it passes over newly metalled bits of road with comparative ease. All the tires are wired on the Otto principle, so that they can not be greatly damaged by cuts from sharp stones.
 For men mounted thus there is, of course, 8 considerable saving in labor, and probably other advantages might be claimed from a military point of view. These are, however points that will be fully tested at Aldershot Re- gently machine manned by ten riders, who did not take their baggage van with them, set out for Messrs. Singers warehouse on Holbern viaduct at one o'clock, when the currents of traffic were running strong in opposite direc- tions. The whole control and steering of the machine is in the hands of one man, and he had no apparent difficulty in managing it, even where the thor oughfare was most densely crowded. It turned easily enough in less space than hanson would have needed and threaded its way among numberless vehicles without mishap, though the drivers of cabs and omnibuses neglected their own business to gaze at the strange apparition as it sped past them.
 The crew in charge of the multicycle are all trained volunteers, who will be able to execute any military evolution that may be demanded of them with in- telligence, and altogether the experi- ment is one in which military men take lively interest. The latest novelty in velocipedes has not as yet been sub mitted to the agents of any Continental power, and will be subjected to its first practical trial for military purposes at Aldershot. ot.-London Daily Ne,Us.

A Bit of Red-Tapeism Which Deprlves
 England of Its Best Horses.
 Here is another example of depart mental wisdom: We are at our wits end for cavalry horses. Commissions are travelling to Canada and the waste places of the earth to look for them and all the time the agents of the French and Germans are finding and buying excellent animals in the not very remote county of Yorkshire. Our officers have had look at those horses, or might have had; they found, or would have found, that they were strong, useful, courageous beasts-just the kind for a hussar regiment. But they had one absolutely fatal fault. Their tails were docked, and red tapeism has decreed that no horse with docked tail shall be so much as considered by our military inspectors. Many people believe that a horse is the better for being docked; no one, at any rate, supposes that he is seriously the worse. But there is the regulation; and thanks to it the War Office is al- most shut out from some of the best English markets, and has succeeded in raising the price against itself some fS or f4 per horse! Meanwhile, as we have said, the foreigner. who has no prejudices against docking, picks up the very animals we want under the noses of our most sapient "authori- ties. ."-St. Janes Gazette

A CARD.


BOHEMIAN, Mont. July 80, 1887.
To the Editor Of the CHRONICLE:
SIR:-Please to publish the following
letter of explanation in your next issue,
as Judge McLeary has given as his rea.
son for removing me, that he has lost
confidence in my personal integrity.
On Monday the 10th ofMsy last, Judge
McLeary says he left a box in the drawer
of his desk in his private room in the
court house. On the morning of the
next day-Tuesday the 18th Judge Nc
Leary and myself left Bozeman about 8
O'Clock a. m. for Virginia City, and did
not return until Thursday the 10th. Some
time between Monday the 10th and
THURSDAY the 10th of May. that box was
stolen, as on the latter date Mrs. Nc.
Leary received a portion of its contents
through the us, mail at Bohemian.
Mrs. McLeary and myself are the only
known persons who had a key to that
the person who took the box must
have also had a key to the desk, andmust
either have gone there deliberately
knowing what was in that box, or ex.
pected il to contain valuables, as papers
said by Judge McLeary to be equally
valuable, were left undisturbed in the
drawer. The Judge says he cannot and
will not entertain the idea that Mrs. Nc,
Leary had any hand in the matter, and
therefore has no alternative but to sus-
pect me. On this flimsy pretence he
asked for my resignation, which 1 refus-
ed to give, hence my removal.
l have only to say that l know MOTH
ing whatever of the transaction, except
what Judge McLeary has communicated
to me himself. No one can regret more
than l do, the painful necessity OF making
these facts public, but l have my W
character at stake, and my family to pro.
vide for, and in justice to all parties a
plain statement Of at least these facts is
necessary.
Tunequivocally decline to discuss this
matter any further with any one, and ie-
fer. all ,enquirers to Judge McLeary him
self for any further information. I am
perfectly " Filling to let the above ~explana.
ton speak for itself to those who know
me. Ii
/ can accuse no one of completely in
the matter, but have a faint hope that
the guilty parties whoever they are,
when they see the trouble and distress
the act is likely to bring on an innocent
man, will take some steps to at least
clear me from any inaimation in the mat.
ter. 81
Judge McLeary admits that he has NOT
the slightest fault to find with the con.
duct of my official duties, and II this mat
ter had been cleared np,' wpuld not have
asked for my resignation.
Very Respectfully,
